As part of this study, the OECD has been engaging with a network of practitioners, civil servants, academics, researchers, and designers to frame the topic and scope of research, to gather feedback and inputs to the research in an ongoing manner, and to strengthen the ties between these important groups of actors. From the OECD Secretariat, Claudia Chwalisz, Ieva Česnulaitytė, and Alessandro Bellantoni co-ordinate the network.
The ICPN was convened at full-day meetings in June 2019, where they helped identify the research questions and suggested sources for the data collection, and in January 2020, where they provided rich comments and feedback regarding the report’s preliminary findings. These meetings were possible thanks to support from the Royal Society of Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce (RSA), the Electoral Reform Society (ERS), and the Open Society Foundations (OSF).
